「人權與民主」集會 逼爆遮打 往美領事館請願 “Human Rights and Democracy” Rally Floods Chater &#8

中環遮打花園舉行「香港人權與民主祈禱會」，其後向美國駐港澳總領事館遞交請願信。認為美國國會通過《香港人權與民主法案》可能加強保障香港自治地位，以及重建國際社會對香港信心。

有網民發起星期日下午1時半在中環遮打花園舉行「香港人權與民主祈禱會」，兩時半由遮打花園經花園道，往下亞厘畢道巴士站的公眾活動區，向美國駐港澳總領事館遞交請願信。獲警方發出不反對通知書。

人潮逼爆遮打花園，漫延至終審法院外、皇后廣場、德輔道中及遮打道一帶。

美國國會復會後料會審議《香港人權與民主法案》，美國民主與共和兩黨都支持法案，不少政界人士也促盡早通過，「公教公民」便認為此法案可能是加強保障香港自治地位，以及重建國際社會對香港信心的重要一步。

Netizens initiated the “Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Prayer Meeting” in Chater Garden at 1:30 pm on Sunday and at 2:30 pm marched to the US Consulate General for Hong Kong and Macao via Garden Road to submit a petition letter. The police issued a notice of no objection.

The crowd flooded the entire Chater Garden space, spreaded to the court outside the Court of Final Appeal, Statue Square, Des Voeux Road Central and Chater Road.

After the resumption of the US Congress, the Hong Kong Bill of Rights and Democracy is expected to be reviewed. Both the US Democratic and Republican Party support the bill. Many politicians also promote the early passage of the bill. Some believe that this bill may strengthen the protection of Hong Kong’s autonomy, and an important step in rebuilding the confidence of the international community in Hong Kong.
